I became a patient of Dr D about three years ago after accompanying my Mom to her appointments for several years. When I became a Toms River resident, from NYC, I decided to leave my NY physician and switch to Dr D and am happy I did. He listens to my concerns and spends an adequate amount of time during my visits.
